i think its stuffed _ Bodgy fix ups

[pokey]

The Bassani looked and worked okay, honest.

 Had a smallish ding in the header that I was heating to pull out while the barrel was off.
after it turned cherry I noted a small hairline crack so I heated a bit more and more hair line cracks appeared.

A small tap with a brazing rod went straight through . After it cooled I gave it a good tap and this is what was left.
An inventive individual seams to have lined the inside of the holy header with muffler putty.


The pipe can be saved with just a new header. I don't think Musket do one for these so a 1 3/4 180 bend will be cut and shunted to it.

Anyone else have expressions of individuality?

It wouldn't  get too many dents that's for sure Doc. Reminds me of a set of crash bars that were attached to a GT550 I picked up years ago, all done in inch water pipe and bends.

Chris.. that pipe is a work of art .... that would taken hours to get right.

Shane...  I had a similar experience with a Pe 250 header a few years ago, It had a small pin hole in it so I thought I would break the oxy out and weld it up ..... as soon as the heat hit it bam it looked the same as yours 

[pokey]

Atleast these guys didn't own a stick welder

[GMC]

In my next life if anyone asks me if I can weld I'm going to say no!

I had these put aside for a thread I was going to call CSI

Hey mate, can you weld up some rust holes for me?



I heard you fix frames?

[GMC]

Yes that's body filler

[pokey]

You poor bugger Geoff,  how do you keep from bursting out laughing or slapping them. I have a modified frame that fortunately only needs a date with the angle grinder to remove some pigeon poo and jam tin lid gussets that were obviously added for wind resistance.

My own sins

Priceless stuff...

Jeepers Geoff, is that what happened to the tank after you had a go at repairing it?

[80-85 husky]

That's called "Jewish Flooding" just happened to destroy 3 years of tax documents the week before the audit... with an insurance report to cover it all....

[GMC]

Jeepers Geoff, is that what happened to the tank after you had a go at repairing it?

Yeah, unfortunately my repair was successful and it held water, too much water.
Shoulda just left it at half full

[jerry]

I have to admit Geoff I was ashamed to bring the Bulty pipe bits up to the GMC facility but you've modestly omitted to put a photo up of what you created from just about nothing. J PS are you riding on Sunday?

[GMC]

Lets not forget the old faithful bandage



Can you make me a header like this please?
Err no, I don't think I would be able to make a header like that



Buggered Maico frames are as common as mud



This front engine mount cross member was smelling and smoking as I cut it out, turned out to be full of bog!!!
